Most Loaner Miles, post yours!

Well, I picked up my loaner EB MCSa 2 tuesdays ago, with under 1300 miles (90% sure), and I just ticked 1850 on my way to work. I don't believe there's a chance my car will be done today, so next week it is. Monday I've got another 100 mile commute... So it looks like I'll be 600+ this weekend, and possibly 700+ next week.

I feel kind of bad putting all these miles on someone else's vehicle... But not too bad, since they have mine.

Who else has put lots of miles on a loaner?

I've put about 500km on a 3 series loaner while my MINI went in to get a dash rattle fixed, twice.

Now the rattle is 90% gone, I'm happy enough not to be in the BMW, people looked at me very differently when I drove the BMW to work not for the better either.

Thats about 1000 miles, eh?

I ticked 850+ miles today, and I'm at school now. Car should be ready tomorrow afternoon. 40 miles home, 20 miles to and from work tomorrow, 20 miles to the dealer... I just may put 1000 on myself by the time I get my car back. Not sure if that's funny or sad.

I put 1,400 miles on a MINI courtesy car (it was brand new, 35 miles, when I got it and I returned it fully broken in +some) during the first service and warranty repair session. It is a long story but suffice it to say that they finally got it right and I accepted my car back after 6 weeks.
